Club houses ara becoming the centres of
Jersey City's local activity. The Palma's
have robbed the social circle of its panta-
loon ornaments in the lower section of the
town; the Jersey Athletics and the Cartar-
cts in the South Bergen section; and now
the Berkeley springs up TO dim the lustre
of the parlors in She North section. We
cannot say how much or how little the
ladies ike sis new order of things; but we
can assume that they would not have in
augurated it themselves. How many hun
dreGs of pounds Of candy, and how many
hu- H-eds Of quarts of ice cream are wasted
nightly OF the bowling alleys and at the bill
lizard tables, and at the sideboard of social
cheer that help t. make the club houses
attractive? But these items do not repre-
sent the fun measure of the ladies losses.
The delightful frequency of the evening
tete-a-.ete is destroyed, and the beaux are
not forced to call as they used to be, by
want of something better to do. The pa
tIent.iittle wife too has been forced to devise
new counter-sttraciions at home, and then
has been discouraged to find her efforts to
please not even moderately successful.
Take it, all in all, we think the ladies have
some reason to look with disfayor on the
club houses. We sympathize with them in
their bereavements, and would fain advise
them what to do about it. But really, we
can't We don't know how. We can as
sure them, however, if it is any consolation
for them to know it, that the club house

Perhsp, it was better for him to accept
than it would have been for him to have
declined. We know that he enters upon
a field where he can do much harm if he is
disposed to do it, and good deal of good
f his inclination is that way. As the posi-
ton he has just accepted is the first public
office he has ever held. we believe that he
will be guided in his career by an honora-
bic ambition to make an enviable record
for himself.

SUNDAY. MAY 8, 1887.

Last Sunday morning we gave the full
and only correct story of the disturbances
in st. Johns Episcopal Church choir ON
the hill, over the selection of new soprano
to take the place OF Miss Nelson. The only
active seek or after the position against Miss
Hike, who was chosen, was Miss Nc
Ginnis. This latter lady is Catholic, en-
gagged now in singing in the choir of
one of the Catholic churches in this CITY.
Miss McGinnis was not aware, probably,
that in seeking the position she was violat.
ing one of the articles of her faith. But
Mgr. Doane, who is one of the authorities
in the Catholic church, declares, in deal
ing with similar case in Newark. THAT she
did. A Miss Dunn who had sung in the
Catholic Ca hedral It Newark, had accept
ed an enga CEMENT to sing in Baptist
thsrch in that city, and Mgr. Doane, ON
learning of it. had forced her to break off
the engagement. He lays down the broad
rule that it is moi permissible for Catholic
priest or iayman, to Participate in Pro-
testant service. The ruling may smack of
narrowness and bigotry; put not more so
than did the threat of some of the Protest
ant churches to retagiate by Withholding
contributions from the Catholic hospitals
in the city. The good Catholic has TO
walk pretty straight line of discipline to
keep within the fold; but, after all, it be-
esales church TO look jealousy after her
devotees, and to prevent them as far as she
can, from associations..that might lead them
astray. The strength Of the Catholic
church is in lhe severity of its dis
cipline, and in the unyielding frmness
with which it clings to its theology. Too
much liberalism of thought and action is
solfce Of weakness to a church, Prot
estantism is the revolt of the independent
religious thought of Christendom against
the rigid infallibility of Catholicism; and
It's seed of liberalism has sprouted score
or more Of differing creeds; so that, though
III re is but one Catholic Church, there are
Protestant churches of countless demon
nations. But, to return to the incident
that provoked this paragraph, the stern
ness VITA which the lines are drawn on
Catholic communicates seems to depend
somewhat on the judgment of the Rever-
end Father in whose parish they worship.
Miss Dunn excused herself for accepting
place in the Protestant choir by alleging
that another Catholic lady is singing in
Prot sstant church. Mgr Doane's an
sver 10 that is that the lady is not in his
parish. S, that, if the Reverend Father in
whose parish Miss McGinnis is, had made
no protest against her participation in the
Episcopalian service, she might have
sung in St. johns without interference, if
she had been fortunate enough to secure
the position.

Newark City has just completed great
internal improvement that no. only direct
~ benefits Jersey City, but may serve as a
suggestion to us too, in the matter of Sc
curing purer and cleaner water than that
which IS now beng served to US. The
sewage of the city has for years been car
ried into the Passaic river, whose waters
the people of that city drink in common
with the people of this city. Some years
ago steps were taken to run great fume
across the medows to Newark Bay. This
has been connected with the trunk sew
ers of Newark by manmouth pumps
which left the sewage from them into the
newly constructed fume. The Passaic
water is thus relieved of large part of the
filth that has been steadily poured into it
since Newark became city, and notice
able change in the cleanliness of our drink
ing water, as well as Newarks should be
the result. 1t is not impossible that the
suggestion this enterprislng Improvement
on the part of our sister city carries with it
may be put to practical use, by our officials
here, in keeping the filth that gets into the
Passaic from other places than Newark out
of il.

the Gov, rnor has found that Flynn got his

Interviews published this morning show
that the newly-appointed members of the
Board of Education do not contemplate,
as it has been reported they did, an attack
upon the High Schools. We at any rate
hope that they do not; for we are not of
those economists who think that, because
the PROF ,tion of those who graduate from
the High School is SIN III as compared with
those who enter the primary classes of the
public schools, it is a ass institut on
that should be abolished. We can admit
the premises; but the conclusion is illogical.
1t is not true that the public derives no
advantage from the education of even a
few of the citizens. Every thoroughly
educated man who goes out into the COM
munity benefits the rest, by contact and
association; and the larger the number of
men and women of liberal culture the
higher the prevailing standard of morals,
and the broader the plane of thought in
the city. The generously educated man
helps to Heaven the mass. So
it is that the High School, edu-
eating, though it does, only the
few, is of public benefit and advantage;
and the benefits it confers on the people
are quite as great, in the proportion of cost,
as those conferred az the ordinary grades
of the common schools.

The claim that the Order of he Iron Hall
is a patent fraud cannot be sustained. 1t
may not be safe thing to base promise
to pay 81 900 in seven years for $780,. on
the assumption that most of those who
take the chance will sacrifice their invest
ments by dropping ont; but there is no
fraud about it. The man who goes into the
speculation practically wagers the money
he invests that enough contributors will
have dropped their connection with the
Order, to enable the concern to pay his
81, 900 to him with their confiscated pay
ments; and every one who goes into it ven
lures with his eyes open, and with full
knowledge of the risk he assumes. The
Order may be obnoxious to the States
gaming laws, and that is all.
